Immigration Policy

Ted Kennedy was a strong supporter of the 1965 Hart-Celler Act which dramatically changed US immigration policy. http://www.cis.org/articles/1995/back395.html "The bill will not flood our cities with immigrants. It will not upset the ethnic mix of our society. It will not relax the standards of admission. It will not cause American workers to lose their jobs." (U.S. Senate, Subcommittee on Immigration and Naturalization of the Committee on the Judiciary, Washington, D.C., Feb. 10, 1965. pp. 1-3.). Kennedy is now the ranking Democrat on the Senate Committee on Immigration, and remains a strong advocate of high levels of immigration. http://grades.betterimmigration.com/testgrades.php3?District=MA&VIPID=358
